The Kayran: A Matter of Price is also a quest included in the first act of the Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition video game.
It continues the events revealed during the previous main-quest named The Kayran.
After the monsters attack, we must meet a certain character, and re-negotiate the award he offers for the huge monster.
Quest Description
Sorceresses never do anything out of the kindness of their hearts for this simple reason that they have stones instead of hearts. Sile said she had enough of talking and wouldnt lift a finger against the monster until the price of the contract is set.
The artless witcher would never have thought to do things that way, but since a sorceress lifting her finger can be mighty helpful in any situation, particularly ones that involve killing huge monsters, our hero went to haggle with the merchants at the harbor
Walkthrough
After you complete the discussion with Sile, head to the western side of the city and locate the strange character wearing a purple tunic, and glasses. During the conversation you can persuade the character, and you can ask for some money in advance.
No matter what you choose, the strange merchant will send you to find an elf named Cedric.
Cedric resides in the city of Lobinden, and to reach it, you must travel east, from your current location. When you exit Flotsam, make sure you turn left towards the village.
Open your map and you should see a cottage on the right side of the river. On your way to the house, you will see several soldiers threatening a woman, named Malena (Malena side-quest starts now). Go inside the house and talk to Anezka in order to continue Melitele’s Heart side-quest you started during the Prologue.
After you complete these two tasks talk to Cedric, up on his platform in Lobinden. If you ask him for a job, you will start a new side-quest called In the Claws of Madness assuming that you didnt complete it yet.
Next, ask Cedric if he can help you hunt the Kayran. He will send you to find a sample of the Kayrans mucus in its lair.
The road takes you north-east along the river, and after you defeat several bandits, you will meet Triss.
Combat Tip: To defeat the bandits, use the Yrden Sign and your steel sword.
When you reach the broken bridge, turn right and go around it. Jump down and advance towards the swamp.
Take out the weak Drowners first and make sure you explore the shipwreck. On the left side you will find a key, near some barrels. Its the Key of Petra Silies captain.
Use it to open the chest on the right side of the boat wreck, and you will start a new side quest called Mystic River.
Now, collect the mucus, by approaching the large tree on the eastern side of the swamp. The mucus is a green substance and it looks like a spider web.
Talk to Triss and you will start the third part of the quest involving the Kayran. The Kayran: Ostmurk begins now.
